In a press release, announced that Gloria Bamforth, MBA and Nicole Dziuba, PharmD have joined the hospital as Vice President of the MDH Medical Group and Director of the Community Pharmacy, respectively.

“Gloria brings a wealth of experience as an administrator working with medical groups. We were impressed with her and the ideas she shared on how to move MDH forward,” said interim Chief Executive Officer Bill Murdock. “We wanted to hire someone with strong communication skills, who works collaboratively across all departments of a healthcare organization, and brings forward-thinking ideas to the organization. Gloria checks all of our criteria, and we look forward to her and her family joining our Hospital and the Macomb community.”

She’ll be overseeing the hospital’s newest facility and service line addition – the community pharmacy. She brings a track record of supervising multiple staff members and increasing prescription volumes and revenue.
“During our search for a Community Pharmacy Director, Nicole stood out among a strong candidate pool,” said Murdock. “Her extensive retail pharmacy background, along with her energy and excitement to lead our new venture, is what MDH needs as we enter the final construction phase and start preparing to launch this project.”
